The South Washington association Of citizens
considered report upon the railroad track griev-
ance last night. That section Is undoubtedly the
great sufferer from railroad encroachment. 1t
does not stand alone, however, in its resistance
To the use by railroads OF streets and avenues as
substitutes for freight stations and round houses
or to the use of the public parks for depot pur-
poses The STAR believes that South Washington,
instead OF being Isolated or deserted, has the
whole community with it in this matter, and Is Of
the opinion that preparation for a wise and ener-
getic use of the opportunities TO be heard offered
in the proposed Investigation by the special SEN
ate committee is a present and continuing duty,
and that such Investigation, II properly utilized,
cannot fail to result benencially TO South Wash

The Universalist. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1884-1897, 1887-05-14
THOUGHTS FROM AMIEL'S
JOURNAL

Life should be a giving birth to the soul.
If we wish to do good to men, we must pity
and not despise them; we must learn to say
of them, not " What foolsr' but What un-
fortunatesp'
Nothing ia more characteristic of man
than the manner in which he behaves toward
fools.
Sophistry is at the bottom of human wick
edness.
Wickedness is forever beginning a new
spiral, which penetrates deeper still into the
abysses of abomination, for the circles of
hell have this property-that they have no
end
Moral indifference is the malady of the
cultivated classes.
Human solidarity is fact more evident
and more certain than personal responsible
ity, and even than individual liberty.
He who is too much afraid of being duped,
has lost the power of being msgnanimous.
Doubt of the reality of love ends by max
ing Us doubt every thing.
Despair is not durable situation.
Doubt is the accomplish of tyranny.
Discour1 cement is an act of unbelief
Nothing resembles pride so much as dis
eouragement.
Discomfort is the father of temptation.
Illusion is the universal spring of move
ment.
Self interest is an inexhaustible source of
convenient illusion.
The ideal is a poison, unless it be mixed
with the real, and the real becomes corrupt
without the perfume of the ideal
Nothing real is simple, and whatever thinks
itself simple is in reality the farthest from
simplicity.
What is madness? Illusion raised to the
second power.
Madness means the impossibility of recov-
ering ones normal balance, after the mind
has played truant among alien forms of be-
ing, and followed Dante to invisible worlds.
Madness means incapacity for self-iudgment
and self-eontrol.
Science Is a lucid madness occupied in tab
ulatiug its own necessary hallucinat .ons.
Society lives by faith, develops by science.
/ lifeline to believe that nature is the viz
tuslity of mind; that the soul is the fruit
of life, and liberty the flower of necessity;
that all is bound together, and that nothing
can be done without.
The Universalist. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1884-1897, 1887-05-14
THE SCOTCH CLANS.

The cruelties, treacheries, disloyalties,
and brutalities of the CLANS were mere
developments OF corruption, due to the
divorce between them and all settled gov
eminent and law. They represented
nothing but anarchy in their relations
with the nation and the kingdom, and
nothing better in their relations with
each other. But the root and principle
of their organization was that of a mill
tary tribe recruiting from all directions
practising obedience, acknowledging au-
thority-and having its hereditary trans
mission from those who had frat afford
ed guidance, conduct and protection.
This Is constructive and not destruc-
tive or anarchic principle. 1t needed
only to be turned in right direction to
become one of the steadiest of all foup.
dation-stones for the building-up OF a
great structure in the light and air OF a
higher civilization. 1t was thus that in
the transition between two ages, the
broken fragments of hundred Septs en-
listed under the banner of the Black
Watch, and began the immortal services
of the Highland regiments. Yet this is
only late and picturesque incident in a
long series of events. Nothing is more
striking or more poetic in the history OF
Scotland than the slow and arduous pro-
cesses by which the rough energy of the
military ages was transformed under the
ages of industry and of peace. Malcolm
Canmore had begun the transformation
by his own union with the daughter of
another blood. Robert Bruce continued
it by the Welding of broken races in the
heat of fire and battle. Between the
war of independence and the union
OF the crowns, it was one long, contin-
uous, constant struggle. But by slow
and steady steps the work was done,
and Scotland became a nation with
noble and settled jurisprudence. Our
kings became our only chiefs; our coun-
try became our only Clan. Her law, the
best symbol Of her history, and the best
expression OF her mind, became the only
authority to which we bowed, and the
only protection to which we trusted. Un-
der its shelter, man could have confidence
in man, because there was no fear OF that
which even the old Celts ranked with
pestilence and famine-the breaking of
the bonds of covenant Tn this hiOh
field of human energy-the establishment
of that confidence in law which is the
nearest approach we can ever make to
the methods OF the divine government
Scotland may well be proud OF the old
and Of the steady growth OF
all her national institutions, The Duke
Of Argyle's Scotland as it Was and as
it Is"
